Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
It was a decent lunch today. We didn't really fill up until after 12, but stayed pretty much full until 130. Several larger tables today; 2 8-tops, 1 7-top, and a couple of 5-tops. Wish the sales would have been a little higher, but tables weren't spending a lot today. I saw several people splitting items today. Ticket times were good.

-Had a scare with the rice cookers not working today. Josh let me know about 10 minutes before service. After finishing a batch by manually holding the buttons down it seemed to work ok. Once they were refilled and reset it seemed ok. Spencer and Vince both let know they have to be positioned just right to work properly. We're thinking the table was knocked into while the last batch was finishing up.

-Tamago was a little weird today. Mary was good about questioning the look before stamping it. It was very dark in the middle. I was told that it wasn't cooled enough before putting in the fridge. They're were enough ok looking pieces to get us by. Kazu will make more tomorrow.     

Specials:

3 Staff members that stood out (why/how):
-Matt seemed to do well for his first train for SA. He has another train with Beorn tomorrow and should be good to go for next week. His first solo shift is next Tuesday lunch.
-Beorn seemed to do well in the window today.
-Veronica did well solo at the host stand today with a little help.

R&M needs:
-Rodrigo fixed the drain behind the noodle cooker today.

-Gemini was out here, and left without touching base with me. It also seems that none of the inconsistency issues have been fixed. I called Shad, the service manager, and gave him an earful. One unit is working at half capacity and is a manufacturer warranty issue that I understand takes time, but the other 2 units still are not reading or working properly. He promised that someone would be out Monday morning to replace the dreaded thermostats in the office, and test the sensors.
